Apple Adds Touch Bar Support to Xcode IDE

Last week, Apple unveiled new MacBook Pro laptops with an innovative new interface called the Touch Bar. Now it has updated its Xcode IDE so that developers can create apps that use the Touch Bar.

"You can now download Xcode 8.1 from the Mac App Store," Apple announced. "This version includes the latest macOS SDKs for building apps that use the all-new Touch Bar on the new MacBook Pro. To develop apps for the Touch Bar, you'll need a Mac running Xcode 8.1 on macOS Sierra 10.12.1 (12B2657) or later."
